I’ve heard that people claim the moon landings were faked, but (until now?) I’d never heard anyone claiming the Martian rovers were faked.

It’s a Lemmy feature that happens when you use the crosspost button.

It could be that it’s more normalised, or that post-Covid people don’t want to share public transport as much.

Whatever the reason, it’s good news as the more cyclists there are, the more that planners will have to take them into account - making it easier for more to become cyclists. Let’s just hope the momentum continues to fuel this virtuous cycle.

It’s a study. People are normally paid to participate in studies because otherwise no-one would bother doing them.

It’s not meant to change the city overnight, it’s a study to test how people’s behaviours change if they reduce the number of cars they own, which is what we want (ideally to zero, of course).

In summary, IT’S A STUDY.

I don’t think you read the article. The data shows that walking and cycling went up massively, as well as increasing public transport use. This is good, and the article as a whole politely makes points compatible with this comm.

I can’t believe that there’s never been anyone that didn’t make that mistake. Probably not enough to justify keeping a counter dedicated to it though…

Yup and, as the article states, electric cars are even worse.

I’d never heard of grassy tramlines, I love them! I’ve never seen any anywhere, and I’ve been all over Europe, they are either quite rare, or I haven’t been paying attention.
